Guest: Ray Meiring, Co-Founder & CEO at QorusDocs

Scaling a SaaS business from consultancy roots to enterprise success requires more than just great tech—it takes ruthless focus, smart go-to-market choices, and a deep understanding of your buyer.

In this episode, Ray Meiring, co-founder and CEO of QorusDocs, joins host Ken Lempit to share the lessons learned on his journey from South Africa to the U.S. market and how QorusDocs carved out a winning niche in AI-powered proposal automation.

We unpack:
✅ Why founder-led sales can’t scale—and how to move beyond it
✅ The trap of chasing SMBs after funding (and what to do instead)
✅ How QorusDocs found product-market fit through one anchor customer
✅ What every SaaS CRO and CMO should know about RFP response teams
✅ The critical role of marketing in driving pipeline (not just sales)

Ray also shares the moment venture funding pushed them off course—and how doubling down on their ideal customer profile helped them reset, rebuild, and grow more efficiently.

If you're a SaaS CMO or CRO scaling into enterprise, navigating founder-to-function transitions, or wondering where AI really moves the needle, this episode is packed with firsthand insight.
